## John Cage Piano Description
Celebrate the music of John Cage by playing the John Cage Piano app on your iPad. One of the many ingenious innovations of American composer/writer/artist John Cage was his creation of the "prepared piano", in which he placed objects beneath and between the strings of a grand piano to create an entirely new instrument.

The sounds of John Cage's prepared piano are now available for you to play on your iPad with this innovative app. Play meticulously sampled sounds of a piano prepared with the actual materials used by John Cage in the preparations for his Sonatas and Interludes (1946-48) as sampled under the supervision of the John Cage Trust.

## John Cage Piano Reviews in United States

### ****- "The sound is accurate but…"
I wish it had MIDI capabilities. It is the only downside for me. I wish i could play without hving to touch the iPad.
Other than that, the sound is accurate.
-- GSRV_GABO, 2023-01-09

### **--- "Unfulfilled potential"
John Cage's prepared piano sounds are inspirational, but this app offers no way to use them with other iPad music apps.

If the developers added midi and inter app audio support, my rating would be much higher. More in-app text about Cage and his method would be a great addition, too. 

There is so much this app could offer users to do and learn. As it stands, John Cage Prepared Piano is neither useful for composition or recording nor is it especially educational.
-- Udpdwshuugc, 2015-11-26

### ***-- "John started it all"
This app offers a very straight forward look into the prepared piano that John pioneered . Now it's time to make this a full on instrument unto it's self so give us a sample option as well as a pattern sequencer that can quantize these noises and organize them into songs and then send them to anything  else as an inter app player . It's time! Please! Peace Christo
-- MuzikalaChristo, 2014-10-29

### ***** "too cool"
The auto bus would be nice. But this is just too cool!!!!!!!!
-- shallots, 2014-07-07

### ****- "Fun App, just needs tweak"
This app captures the essence of Cage, however like ALL audio apps, it MUST be Audiobus compatible to make it relevant. It would be so much fun to incorporate Cage like sounds and textures into any recording stream. Please make this more than just a stand alone app. You'll sell more apps!
-- Sonic JMC, 2014-03-18

### *---- "Crap"
Not fun as an oddity or useful as an instrument. Waste of money.
-- Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr awful, 2013-10-02

### ****- "Great Experimental App"
Just found this app, much respect for John Cage and I really appreciate getting to work with his prepared piano!  Would be really great for Midi control like the others said (core and/or virtual.) The Audiobus sdk is out now, I think its implementation with this app would be stellar. The only other suggestion I have would be an option to arrange the notes in order, this would be great to hear other tunes in the John Cage way! Oh and possibly a way to export the recordings with audiocopy or e-mail (Audiobus would solve this.) Thank you for bringing this to my iPad.
-- christanraxter, 2013-04-17

### ****- "MIDI Control yes please"
Let me add my vote to those requesting MIDI control. Please!  The samples sound beautiful and the velocity response is ice.  The note layout is a bit of a hindrance for use.
-- StophLong, 2012-09-08

### ***** "Nice Tribute to John Cage"
Very enjoyable to play with and you don't have to stick foreign objects inside your piano! I like how you can upload a recording that you create onto the John Cage website to share with others. The ability to hook up a MIDI Keyboard controller to play the prepared piano sounds would be a very nice enhancement to this app.
-- Mario Ajero, 2012-09-05

### ****- "Very nice."
I know it is unlikely to happen but adding Midi would really put the cherry on it.
